Where do you paint your car? I figured the rest out but I bought a green body paint and thought it was applied from the GT auto. It's down as being purchased, I'm probably just missing something obvious where you put it on the car.

Also just did the menu book with nurg and it starts raining second lap.

I think the only way to paint your car is to go into the livery editor.

Livery editor.

I wanted to change a yellow 458 you get from cafe to factory Ferrari red, but it was a pain and wouldn’t render or something and I said forget it.

Im just being lucky or does they increased the drop rate of the better prizes for the roulette since yesterday update? Yesterday i got a 1 star ticket from the daily workout and got the highest amount of credits in the ticket, today got a 4 star ticket from the daily workout and got a Gr.3 car (worth 450 000 credits)

Also finished all lincences with at least bronze so got another Gr.3 car woth 450k.

Two free gr.3 cars for my garage today, not bad for what was like 1 hour of gameplay. :D
Lucky. Definitely lucky. :messenger_beaming:

This is a shit option when you want to change a used car to another OEM paint job. Common GT… why cant I pay to change all these lame black paintjobs and keep the decals intact on 80s/90s cars

I've given up on going for all Gold on the missions. I've golded the first 3 sets but damn it gets hard after that. It kills my OCD seeing bronze on the list but I'm just going to have to live with it 😑😑

I only do the missions a few times, repeating them (and the licenses) over and over makes me not want to play the game. Eliminating that has made it more enjoyable.

Most of them can be cheesed some way. Like all drag races can be done with an OP car like a tomahawk. The slipstream challenges can be reloaded until you get better wind speed and direction. I reloaded the f1500 wet spa challenge until I got a purple cloud monsoon and the AI couldn’t drive in it. The mileage trials jut require you to crawl at like 9 mph until you run out of gas.

Am i blind or is there no Lamborghini Diablo to be bought? The car is drivable in one of the license tests but isnt included in Brand Central? 🤨
Brand central only has cars from the years 2000 untill now. 1999 and older cars will be in the used car dealer or Legendary dealer.

Some cars that are available in brand central also appear in the used car dealer for a bit cheaper price.

Weird that the AI doesn't use IM in rainy races. I mean...why? Anyways if the AI don't use them then I'm not either, feels like cheating (which it is.. but isn't lol)

In regards to my favorite tracks... Not sure yet =P

Btw I found this video helpful (I'm very much in the dark regarding tuning and upgrades what they are and do and such)



I'll try this one later for the Clubman + Tsukuba race. I'm to slow on getting on the gas when exiting corners and I would prefer to keep TC on 0. Perhaps this will lend some nuance

Played now all of the single player events except for some of the 🌶️🌶️🌶️ races. These are quite challenging.

The 10 lap races are by far the best. I love it when you have multiple weather changes and some wonderful time lapse lighting. It's so incredible when each laps looks and feels different and you have to adjust on the fly. This is where the game really excels. More than 3 weeks since release and i can't put the game down or play something else.

I always get nerfed by the ai in those races as they turn in on me. Especially the daytona races. Usually near the end so no chance of recovery.

I like to pretend they're purposely slow and blocking me from overtaking in the earlier laps lol. Which ofcourse they do and is annoying af but it's good for practicing clean overtakes for the online races.

I don’t know what’s going on with the AI. I saw people complaining and was confused bc I thought it was fine; but now that I’m using some better cars it’s really starting to make me scratch my head. Last night I was doing like 35-45 mph over most of the ending stages of a race, Ferrari & Bugatti right behind me, just driving like it’s not a race at all. THIRTY-FIVE MPH. No stress. Hardly any threat to pass me at all.

Was maybe the most disappointing thing I’ve witnessed in this game so far, and what it made me feel was “if you want competition, play online.” Pretty big fucking joke imo and has me really soured on playing rn tbh.

Play the 10 lap races with 4 peppers and you have very fast AI giving you a very though challenge. I had to buy a Nitro for my Gr.3 GT-R cuz the AI in the Gr.3 race in Daytona drives very fast and if you make a tiny mistake, they overtake you in a second. After 3 or 4 times i eventually came out in 1st. Great race against AI.

Most of the other races have the AI toned down, to be more casual friendly.

DeepEnigma DeepEnigma The one that was 70k and ppl used to farm creadits its still 30k. The 50k one its the 2 laps one. The one ppl farmed is just 1 lap. The increase in race rewards is planed to beginning of April.

Agreed.

There are some really hard races in the game.

So what to do when you have 4.5 million credits and dont really have any cars you need to buy? Well, i spent 400k in a proper drift car and now im having alot of fun. This MOFO has 1052HP and its already fine tunned for drift as it was used in drift competitions by an ex drift champion. This car is also my 100th car in my garage.

Yeah, I was looking at the wrong one, just realized that now since I unlocked them and finished all the menus this morning.

There is one 70K World Tour race (World Touring Car 700) that is a bitch because the lead car never has to pit in 10 laps. That damned Suzuki Swift Sport beating Rari's and shit.

Guess I will just have to buy a Gr.4 Swift, detune to 700pp, use hard race tires and fuel map to 6 so I don't have to pit either, lol.

It's overall crazy how vastly different all the cars are in terms of tank size.

I wonder about that - do cars really have different gas tank sizes? Gas tank/consumption is one of those things I would have assumed is artificially made standard across all cars, but it would be pretty crazy if it really is different. I wonder what else is unique per car that isn't specifically identified... Like is a racing soft tire the same for every car, or do some cars have better ones?

Yes, cars have different sized tanks for fuel. That's real. :messenger_grinning_sweat:

Lol no...

Depends on how aggressive the car can be handled. The harder you drive the faster the same tire will wear throughout different cars.

I do notice that cars have different lap ratings in the fuel mapping though. So either MPG is taken into account by the car, or the build/power ratio.

I always use hard tires and depending of the competition i use the fuel map at 6 always for the 10 lap races.

I have done a 10 lap race without pitting this way and ended up winning by a huge margin, but most races i have to pit at lap 7 or 8 using my Gr.3 or Gr.4 GT-R. Its still lesss time i stay in the boxes cuz dont need to refuel a full tank.

And already got my 3 favorite Ferraris from my childhood.

Which cars have you been getting 10 laps with?

Even when I map to 6, it seems different cars have different lap ratings per tank.

Yes cars have diferent gas tanks in the game. I found out about this by trying to take a tunned Skyline against Gr.4 cars. And after 2 laps i was already running out of fuel, the Gr.4 or Gr.3 cars usually last 5-6 laps in the same consitions.

Interesting... That probably skews the viable cars towards racing built ones. A standard car is going to have a normal sized fuel tank, and adding a ton of horsepower will destroy it. Like I'm reading now an 1989 Skyline has a 19 gallon tank, whereas a GT500 car has a 32 gallon one. Even if you upgrade the Skyline to be competitive the gas tank will always put you at a severe disadvantage.

I'm surprised larger fuel tanks isn't a tuning option.

You read my mind with the car example lol

I have been using my sponsored cars. Nissan GT-R Gr.4 and Gr.3. Mostly i use the Gr.3 one. But the car usually only last 7 laps in map 6 fuel.
Dont remember what race i managed to do 10 laps without pitting. Some races have different tire and fuel consumption multipliers.
